Netflix and Writers’ Guild of Great Britain Sign Deal for Scripted Live-Action Series


The deal over remuneration on scripted live-action series is the first agreement between Netflix, the WGGB and the Personal Managers' Association.

Netflix U.K., the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain (WGGB) and the Personal Managers’ Association (PMA) — which represents U.K. agents — have signed a first-of-its-kind deal on remuneration. “For the first time in the U.K., writers working for a global streamer will have their rights enshrined in a collective trade union agreement and will enjoy improved terms and conditions. Added the PMA: “We are thrilled to have finally agreed a trailblazing deal on terms for U.K. writers that moves away from granting rights in perpetuity and introduces a structure for ongoing payments.”
